Anti-theft protection


Electronic engine immobiliser

The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

the conditions of:


- driving style,

- road characteristics,

- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain the most
suitable gear, avoid sharp variations in the
pressure on the accelerator pedal.

For the best acceleration, when
overtaking another vehicle, for example,
press firmly on the accelerator going
beyond the point of resistance.

Manual gear changing

In the automated mode, you can take over
control temporarily at any time using the
steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster change down than that offered
in automated mode (arrival at a roundabout,
exit from a car park with a steep gradient,
over taking...).

the engine speed permits it. The gear engaged
appears.
